About Selina
Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people feel steadier in everyday life. She focuses on clear goals and skills so clients can manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or identity concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making change feel doable.
She spends time listening first, and then helps people name what matters to them. That might mean learning new ways to respond to strong emotions, adjusting unhelpful thoughts, or building routines that improve sleep and focus.
Background and approach
She blends several well-researched approaches to match each person’s needs. Over 22 years in practice, Selina has supported people dealing with grief, anger, addictions, and shifts in self-esteem or motivation. She also works with issues like trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving, chronic illness, or life transitions.
Her background includes work with clients facing ADHD, bipolar concerns, and identity questions in the LGBT community. Her methods draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and a client-centered perspective. That mix allows her to use skills training, values-focused planning, and relational reflection depending on what is most useful.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real-life change. Selina practices in Michigan and offers sessions in English. She encourages a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is checked regularly.
If someone prefers to begin with a short intake and discuss options, she guides them through the next steps.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Selina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings interact and breaks problems into manageable steps to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Selina works collaboratively to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan as needed. She will check in about what is helping and what needs to change so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging can fit brief updates or steady support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
